Civil Ceremonies & Partnerships

Civil ceremonies at the Captain’s Club are performed by professional celebrants from Dorset Registration Service and must be booked directly with them to fulfil their legal requirements.

Your ceremony can be as simple or as sophisticated as you like; you will be invited to meet their staff, who will help you make it personal to you.

Recent ceremonies at the Captain’s Club have included poetry and music, readings and professional singers.

Our weddings co-ordinator can help you with local contacts should you need them.

The Captain’s Club is fully licensed to hold civil and partnership ceremonies for up to 100 guests. The Waterside Suite, Starboard Suite and Port Suite, whose private terrace overlooks the water, provides a stunning backdrop for your ceremony.

When budgeting, it is important to remember that the registrar’s fees are charged separately to the hotel’s civil ceremony room hire charges.
